Linux VM bootstrap verification skill. MUST BE USED when setting up new VMs or verifying environment.
Supports modes: check (warn-only), install (operator-confirmed), strict (CI-ready).
Enforces Linux-only + mise as canonical; honors preference brew→npm (with apt fallback).
Verifies required tools: mise, node, pnpm, python, poetry, gh, railway, bd, tmux, jq, rg.
Handles optional tools as warnings: tailscale, playwright, docker, bv.
Never prints/seeds secrets; never stores tokens in repo/YAML; Railway vars only for app runtime env.
Safe on dirty repos (refuses and points to dirty-repo-bootstrap skill, or snapshots WIP branch).
